Look, food bloggers, I get that you thinks carbs are the devil (they’re not, by the way). I also get that you have an obsession with avocados that may be beyond your control.

But this time you’ve gone too damn far. This time you’ve messed with something the world holds dear, and you need to bloody well stop.

The new food trend, apparently, is replacing the delicious buns that gently cradle your burger patty with slices of avocado. Yup. Skinned avocado, carefully placed around a burger, as if green mush can replace the soft, pillow-like comfort of a sesame seed bun.

The avocado bun burger is the creation of Food Deco, who used their avo to sandwich a vegan stack of a chickpea patty with vegan mayo, tomato, and corn.

It’s a delightful idea and it looks very Instagram-worthy, but let’s be real. This is madness.

Avocado does not have the structural integrity needed to serve as a bun. It’s also much too slimy and slippery to hold. The way Food Deco have made their burger, with a full avocado instead of two thin slices, makes this burger impossible to bite into.
